Description

Noel Lyness (47), a Catholic civilian, was found beaten to death off Ebor Street, Village, Belfast. Lyness, a mature student at Queen's University Belfast, had been killed by Loyalists but no paramilitary group claimed responsibility. In the following years there were to be a number of Catholics killed by both Loyalists gangs and Loyalist paramilitary groups which were followed by the policy of 'no claim, no blame'. This meant that if no Loyalist paramilitary group claimed the killing the could be no political sanctions taken against them.
